Resident /Associate ClassThrowing for Handbuilders

Think of throwing not as an end in itself but a way to make the forms you need to fit your creative vision. Forget making a pretty little bowl, use throwing as a means to make parts for what you envision you want to make. Once you take that off your shoulders you will see it as a help and not a roadblock. I will show you several techniques you will find helpful and freeing.
